Classic route of Sørfjelltinden northwest slope. You will find a small parking area by the main road and from there you can directly head up to the trees. Navigate towards the ridge and make your way up following the ridge line. Be aware not to cross the ridge line to your right side, it is steep and exposed. When the ridge line starts to get narrower, it is good to transition and ski down. Good skiing all the way until the main road.
